2006 Kawasaki Vulcan 2000 Classic LT Motorcycle reviews

After riding this bike for a year, I can say that I don't think there's a bike to top it. Maybe the Rocket III, but nothing else will have that instant torque gratification throwing you back and stretching your arms at the flick of a wrist. It handles great, sounds great, looks great (I get lots of compliments) and it is just an all-around wonderful bike. The only thing is it eats rear tires, I suppose with all of that weight + torque = tire eating. Show less

I bought this baby the beginning of May 07. The first month only did 1200km. I now have 6200km on her. I've had Hondas, Yamahas & Harleys, and this baby is great. I've been up to 195 kmh with lots left. I've left a lot of bikes behind at 170kmh. She pulls strong yet smoothly. I try to run at 120km on the 400 hwys but she seems to like it at 140kmh. My wife loves riding on it (that's a good thing), because I can not leave it alone. I always want to ride. She can be quick off the line, cherrp & left the wheel in second, then cherrp in third, have not used full throttle yet. At the local coffee shop the guys are always looking & commenting about her, even the Harley riders. I have changed a couple of things for my comfort. I'm just loving it. Show less

After a long search, I found my bike. I had looked at every bike in this class and nothing compares. For my size and the ball & chain(wife), it pulls like a tank! Cruises, handles, and brakes good. It pays to do the research. Drive safe and see you on the road! Show less

I still own a great looking 2004 Ultra Classic- no mechanical problems, only complaint is heat in slow/stop traffic. My wife wanted something smoother, more comfortable and less heat. She loves the ride. I have about 3000 miles on it, riders stock seat, not the most comfortable. I keep the Harley looking good but this is the most fun I've had on a bike in many years of riding. There is no one perfect bike, but this might be the closest there is available. Show less

First off I will say If you take one of these for a test ride, you WILL buy one. This bike can be a little intimidating when you feel the weight of the bike come off the kick stand but that is the only time you feel the extra weight. The V2K handles like a dream and you will be scraping floor boards before you know it. All in all, I do not regret my choice and you won't either. Show less

This bad boy rides like a Cadillac. I like a big bike ride and feel and this one has it. Sold my C90T and wanted a bigger bike. This bike makes other bikes look (and feel) like toys. I rode several to make sure, Victory Kingpin and Heritage Softail included. There is just no comparison. To each his own, but this one's mine. Show less

Traded 1990 Kaw Vulcan 1500 seen this bike and I had to have it. Handles like a dream, also the power is there when needed. I've been riding for 38 yrs., driven every bike there was but none can compare 2 this bike. Show less

I have had a motorcycles off and on since I was 14 years old. I have owned a Cushman, BSA, Honda, and Harley. I bought a Vulcan 1500 in 98 and sold it in 01. And so for the last 5 years I did not have this burning void in my life from lack of motorcycle. On a lark, I went to look at a Harley advertised locally, did not like it, and just happened to pass my local Kawasaki dealer. I was just going to stop in for a second until I saw that black 2000 sitting on the showroom floor. I rode it home the next day and I can say without a doubt that it is the best bike I have owned. Powerful, comfortable, handles well, is good looking, and it will run circles around an HD. Can't ask for much more. Show less

I have been riding since 1969. Owned more bikes than I can recall. Owned every type of bike. I have put over 50k on several bikes. But my love has always been the super bikes. I did a lot of thinking and research before my purchase. Each bike has its ups and downs. But this bike is beyond any article. It sits so much better than anything in its class. Plenty of room, well balanced, smooth, with good punch. The low center of gravity makes this machine a breeze to handle at a snails pace in parking lots. I have zero complaints (first time) on this purchase. Show less

I purchased this bike 3 weeks ago. I work full-time and yet I've riden it over 3 thousand miles. What more can I say? This is a great machine. I can't stay off. Gotta go, gotta ride. Show less
